I hate my art.

The struggles of an artist, that maybe you can relate to as well. If you do relate, I hope this helps you :)

you know it's serious when sam doesn't get scared of us

The way I audibly gasped when I saw the title

I think when you hate your art the most is when your taste has grown to a point where your own art isn't don't it for you anymore, which means you're about to hit a breakthrough so you can meet your own taste again! At least that's what i always tell myself

[ssavaart]

Bravo, Sam. Thank you for showing your humanity. Thank you for being vulnerable so that other artists can know that they are not alone.

If Sam hates his art, we’re all cooked💀😂
(Relatable to what your feeling though)

I literally screamed, "TAKE THAT BACK!" when I saw the title.

[mourning.star.]

I cant even describe how helpful it is to hear that some of my absolute favorite artists struggle with the exact same things i do. I've always grown frustrated with myself when i fell into a slump, and it ruined the experience of creating for me. I never want to grow to hate my passion. Thank you for the great video, sam.

I have been stuck hating Every piece I work on for the past... Many many weeks.
It's hard to imagine Sam feeling the same slump. But it's somehow comforting to know that no artist is alone.
Thank you for this!

7:11 "If you're not in a slump now, I hate you" I hate myself too Sam, don't worry.

No, but seriously. Artists have some of the cruelest inner voices sometimes, and as an artist myself i also am no exception. I'm the oposit of sam, i struggle with realisim and my style looks extremely stylized and cartoony so I've been trying to do realisim and breaking out of my comfort zone as well, mostly with different body types and breaking same face syndrome.
I hope you get out of your art slump soon sam.

[Nikartsy]

Wait this is actually so refreshing. I dislike most of my pieces. Seeing this is very validating

[Phantal_]

Some times I really forget that I'm not the only one that is plagued by this critic. Thank you for making this video

[__Mow__]

Love that your showing that no matter how skilled you are, and no matter how long you've been doing art, we ALL make art that we hate

[hylianrice]

I lost my creative job due to the decline in the animation industry and I've been in a slump ever since. This video was really insightful and helped tremendously to get me back on my feet. Thanks, Sam :)

[kran]

Thank you so much, Sam. I appreciate it. Im in my lowest moment right now, hating everything about my art. I feel like i need to rethink why i draw and what i want to show. Because everything I’ve beed creating is not me at all. So hearing words of encouragement from you were really helpful for me. Thank you

[helenehp.lailaps]

Seeing the title next to his beautiful drawing really made me understand that every artist has these feelings, regardless of their skill

[Joeboe_Bean]

I noticed that when I look at an artwork of mine, I remember what I thought/felt while making it.

So, I try to have fun with all my artworks, so that when I look back on them, I’ll remember that instead of remembering how I stressed out and beat myself up over little mistakes.

It makes me like my art a lot more

[amopeh]

the title scared me so much, i was like, “no you don’t sam!! that’s not possible!!”

[lisaillust]

To be uncomfortable is to learn discipline.

Idfk where this came from. lol, it just popped into my brain as Sam was talking about comfort zones and how he has to get uncomfortable again 😅
I couldn't relate to you more when it comes to my own art.. let's do our best together 💜

[Itz_faiza-]

"It is what it is, Man."

Literally art in one sentence. Btw, love your vids ❤

[suzume_artz]

Love that you spoke about this topic! One thing I would like to add: Pay attention to who you are OUTSIDE of your art. What's the stuff you like & dislike. Especially music being a good stimulant to the type of art you produce. All these smol things add character & personality to your characters. It's helped me at times when I've been in a slump, so I hope that it helps you too ❤
